. FOR BIG RESERVE s Commander of U. S. Army Shows What a Benefit It Would Be.

(National News Association) LOS ANGELES, July 28 "Every man should keep his chest bigger than bis belly." MaJ. Gen. Leonard Wood, chief of taff of the United States army, holds that as man's first duty to man. The General was pacing about the Alexandria hotel lobby with Billy Manning, formerly a lightweight boxer, Brho had the honor of being knocked ot by Jack Dempsey in two rounds. "Yes, I believe in air of the kind that roundB out a man physicar.y," he gald. " 'Billy' here used to hand me occasional punches when he was my Instructor, and I would vary that strenuous education by getting into the ruck of a football game. "But now," and his Dreadnought prow of a chest bulged out several Inches with a sigh "now I have to confine myself to horseback riding. Army Is Improving. "The army? It is all right, and I believe will soon be better; I have a theory which promises to 13 carried out, to have the term of enlistment shortened, so that a man caS serve, say three years, and then be exempt, except insofar as the demands of a 'reserve' corps may be required. After a man has served his three years he will belong to the 'reserve' and will be subject to call to the colors in case of war. "I don't favor a large army that is a large standing army, but it would seem that this 'reserve' force would always place the country In good condition if the untoward were to happen; for a call to the colors would bring to the front at once thousands of men who know their drill and have had the benefit of three years' actual service." CHURCH FAIRS ARE RAPPED BY PASTOR Rev. Leonard Says They Appeal to Man's Appetite Church News. The attendance at the Central Christian church still continues very good and the hot-weather campaign is keeping the Sunday school attendance above normal. Rev. Leonard preached a sermon on "Christian Giving" yesterday, in which he emphasized the fact that giving Is not love, but law. lie also said, "I do not approve of church dinners, bazaars, Ice cream socials, and so forth, because they appeal to man's appetite rather than his love for Christ. We should give directly, believing all we have belongs to the Lord. I admire the heroic, selfsacrificing women who prepare meals, arrange socials, and operate bazaars, but they are pursuing a mistaken policy." Rev. Truman Kenworthy conducted the services at the county infirmary, yesterday. At First Methodist. Services at the First Methodist church were very well attended yesterday, communion service being held In the morning and regular services in the evening. At the latter the Rev. Parker finished the series of sermons on the Marys and Johns of the New Testament, the final sermon being on Mary the Magdaline. Rev. Parker stated that Mary has been painted as a bad woman, but he did not believe her to be such, and the devils that were cast out were mental troubles and not moral badness. The Sunday school board will meet this week with E. E. Brown, the Sunday school superintendent, and plan an aggressive campaign. First Baptist Church. At the First Baptist church the attendance was excellent and the morning sermon was preached by D. L. Fitzpatrick, his subject being "The Second Mile." The Flat Rock Baptist Association which will meet at Greensburg, August 6-7-S, will be attended by about a dozen members of the local church. Music will be rendered by the aiale quartet and J. W. Ferguson, the president of the state Baptist Brotherhood, and a member of Rev. Stovall's congregation, will deliver an address PVednesday evening. FROZEN COAL MINES. The Way They Manage to Reach Their Fuel In Holland. It was not until 1SS3, when Toetsch Ilollnnd's coal fields became of any practical value. Where coal is encountered immediately under the solid rock there is a stratum of drift sand that contains great quantities of water. This condition of things made it practically Impossible to build the shafts. The freezing method, however, has successfully solved the problem, and Holland now has a flourishing mining industry. On the spot where the shaft is to be dug from twenty-five to thirty borings are made down through the drift sand to the solid rock in a circle five feet larger In diameter than the projected shaft. Pipes are then sunk into these bore holes, aud through these is circulated by powerful freezing machines chemical solution cooled down, to below iero. In this way he drift sand containing the water is frozen as hard as a rock after the freezing machines have been working day and night for two months. In this frozen cylinder of sand a shaft Is then dug and lined from bottom to top with strong segments of cast iron securely soldered together with lead. Chicago News. -

MRS. ELSA SCHROEDER ARKOVY. NEW YORK, July 28. The recent suicide of Robert Schroeder, a wealthy retired brewer, has made a nervous wreck of his daughter, Mrs. Elsa Schroeder Arkovy, from the date of whose unfortunate marriage to a bogus Count can be traced three suicides. About three years ago Elsa Schroeder eloped with a handsome young foreigner whom she met in a theatre and who told tales of great estates in Austria, calling himself Baron von Arkovy. Soon after it was learned that the husband was a masquerader and that he worked as a cigar store clerk. The girl's mother, broken-hearted, committed suicide. The daughter inherited a snug fortune from her and squandered it on her husband. She then separated from him and the bogus Count committed suicide in London last April.

JURY HEARS CASES N POLICE COURT Drug Store Clerk and Ice Cream Factory Manager Face Charges. The cases of Clem Thistlethwaite and Dayton Fertig, charged with having sold ice cream which did not contain the required amount of butter fat probably will go to the jury in police court late this afternoon. John C. Diggs, state pure food inspector, was here and testified as to the making of the analysis of the samples sent to the state laboratory by Charles Flook, city dairy inspector. Inspector Flook also testified this afternoon. Charles Easley, a clerk in the Main street Thistlethwaite drug store, is alleged to have sold ice cream which did not contain 8 per cent butter fat, which is required according to the state law. Fertig is manager of the Richmond Cream company, of which firm the Thistlethwaite store purchased the cream. ROUTINE OF THE BOARD OF WORKS Clarence Lane was selected this morning by the board of works to fill the position left vacant at Hose House No. 1 by the resignation of Tom Boyce. Boyce has been in the service of the fire department for the last five years. There were throe applicants for the position. The board votod a vote of thanks to the T. H.. I. & E. Traction company, which corporation gratuitously gave to the city a check for $513.40 or applying tarvia to the section of the roadway on the National road west between the tracks of the company. The fact that no law compels the company to provide for this application was spoken of by Superintendent G. K. Jefferies of the company. He said the company sent the check with the best wishes of the company. A petition for a cement roadway in the alley west of South Seventh street from G to H street was approved by the board.Incidental Music. One afternoon a couple from nn adjoining town presented themselves to a Boston divine and asked to be married just as he was about to enter the pulpit to conduct nn afternoon service. The minister replied that he regretted that he could not at that moment comply with their wish, but that immediately upon the conclusion of the service he would take pleasure in performing the ceremony. The lovers after demurring seated themselves in the rear of the church. When the minister had finished the service he made the following announcement: "The parties who are to be joined in matrimony will present themselves at the chancel immediately after the singing of Hymn 415, 'Mistaken Souls That Dream of Havenr "Exchange. , w

SHREWD TELLER OF FORTUNESPINCHED Operations of R. S. Ray Learned Through Woman Hunting Her Son. ' Robert S. Ray, a well dressed, handsome man of fifty years, was arraigned in police court this morning for telling fortunes without a license, a violation of a city ordinance. Ray was fined $25 and costs, the minimum fine for the offense. Ray has been telling fortunes here for several weeks. He lives at 44 South Fifth street. A woman appeared at the police headquarters Saturday and asked Chief Gormon to assist in locating her missing son. She resides at Cambridge City. She told the police she had just had a conference with Ray who in a wonderfully clever manner had told her her name and place of residence and said her son had joined the army. Chief Gormon inquired into the particulars of the case, and learned from the woman that the fortune teller had given her a paper on which she was to write her name, address and several other facts. She was then told to tear off the sheet of paper and hold it in her right hand. Ray then took the tablet and by means of a carbon slip was able to tell the woman her name. Ray also told a man named Wm. Mays that he would inherit $13,000 within a short time. Ray had learned of May's inheritance to be before telling his fortune.

CUT THE RED TAPE. Sarah Bernhardt's Lesson to Belgium's Customs Officials. In the bad old days not so very long ago travelers, when they reached the Belgian frontier, were compelled to leave their compartments iu the middle of the night in order to be present at the customs examination of their luggage. A train in which Mme. Sarah Bernhardt was traveling reached the frontier at midnight, and the customs officials made their customary raid into her compartment. Roughly awakened from her beauty sleep and not in the best of humor. Mme. Bernhardt refused to descend. The officials uncoupled the actress' carriage, dumped her luggage on the platform and went through it with conscientious vigor. By this time the train was about ready to start. "You are not going to leave without me?" cried the actress. "Be so kind as to couple my carriage at once." "When we have completed our examination," replied the inspector and went on rummaging with redoubled zeal. But he did not know with whom he had to deal. The actress took up a portmanteau, placed it between the rails a few yards in front of the engine and calmly seated herself. "And now," she said, "you can go on if you please." The officials were helpless, and the Bernhardt car was attached to the train. This lesson In manners soon afterward produced a change In the Belgian cnstoagLoadon, Telegraph.

RIGS WERE SMASHED While Returning From Dance Saturday. When returning from a dance at: Boston about 12:30 o'clock Saturday night, the rig in which William Lacey, another young man and two young women were riding collided with two other vehicles near Bealview. The occupants of all three carriages were thrown out but no one was seriously hurt, although all were bruised. In the mix-up which followed the horse which Lacey was driving broke the harness and came on to the city. Lacey and his friends walked the rest of the way. William A. Rich, livery man to whom the horse belonged, says that he hired the rig to Horace Ralston early in the evening. Lacey and Raleton left the barn together for the dance. When it came time to return to Richmond, Lacey took the buggy without saying anything to Ralston about it. When Ralston found out that his rig had been taken he hired a Boston man to bring him back to the city. Mr. Rich says that he does not know who the persons with Lacey were, but that he will file charges against him for the damages to the buggy and harness. The harness was ruined and I the coupling pole broken. AMBASSADOR WILSON.
